SIPRI Yearbook 2013

II. New peace operations in 2012

Chapter:: 2. Peace operations and conflict management
Source:: SIPRI Yearbook 2013
Author(s):: Jaïr van der Lijn

Three new multilateral peace operations opened in 2012: the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Mission in Guinea-Bissau (ECOMIB) and the European Union (EU) Capacity Building Mission in Niger (EUCAP Sahel Niger). EUCAP Sahel Niger was part of broader attempts by the international community to respond to growing instability in the Sahel region. Hence, this section also discusses progress in 2012 towards the deployment of a multilateral operation in Niger's neighbour, Mali, where an internal conflict broke out in 2012.¹
